AI Enablement • Adoption Strategy • Learning Innovation • Change Leadership

Turning AI strategy into confident adoption, better workflows, and measurable business impact.

I lead the human side of AI transformation. I translate emerging capabilities into role-based learning, practical workflow guidance, change strategies, and scalable enablement systems that help people move from awareness to confident application. My work combines AI fluency, learning strategy, adoption measurement, and cross-functional consulting for enterprise audiences of 10,000 to 20,000+ employees.

About

Learning strategy, change, and enablement built for complex work.

Madeline Schemel headshot

I am a Senior Learning Designer & Change Manager on HUB International's Digital Learning team, supporting AI and Automation. In this role, I lead learning strategy and design for complex AI and automation initiatives and partner across product, program, business, and change teams to build workforce readiness and adoption.

Across my career, I have designed enterprise onboarding, technology transformation, digital learning, and performance support for large, distributed audiences. My approach blends learning strategy, instructional design, change management, performance consulting, communication, and measurement so solutions are useful in the moment and scalable over time.

  • Translate complex business and technology change into clear employee experiences
  • Design learning and change strategies that drive adoption, not just completion
  • Build scalable programs across onboarding, AI enablement, systems, and performance support
  • Partner with leaders, product teams, SMEs, and change partners to connect learning to business outcomes
AI Enablement Operating Model

I design for adoption, not attendance.

My approach treats AI enablement as a business transformation discipline. Training is one lever inside a broader system that connects use cases, role-based capability, workflow practice, reinforcement, governance, and measurable adoption.

Case Study 01

Enterprise AI & Automation Learning Initiative

An enterprise learning and change initiative focused on building AI and automation capability, responsible adoption, and leadership readiness across the organization.

AI + Automation Adoption

Business Challenge

AI and automation capabilities are evolving quickly, creating a need for clear guidance, role-relevant learning, and coordinated change support. Employees and leaders need practical ways to understand new tools, apply them responsibly, and connect them to real work.

My Role

As Senior Learning Designer & Change Manager supporting AI and Automation, I own learning strategy and architecture for complex initiatives and partner with product owners, program leaders, business stakeholders, and change partners to translate emerging technology into approachable, role-relevant enablement.

Solution

Build scalable learning ecosystems that include foundational and leader-focused vILTs, learning journeys, demonstrations, quick-reference resources, assessments, and ongoing curriculum planning. Content emphasizes practical application, responsible use, and adoption in everyday workflows.

Current Focus

  • Build structured learning journeys from awareness to confident application
  • Create role-relevant learning for employees, leaders, and change champions
  • Align learning, readiness, communications, feedback, and change support across evolving releases
